[quote=Anonymous]So many - My kids are grown now, but we shared a lot of old favorites and made some new ones along the way.

Off the top of my head:
“The Big Red Storybook” - is what I called a collection of fairy tales from my childhood in a big, red book
Mother Goose rhymes
Dr. Seuss
We’re Going on a Bear Hunt
Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle
Just-So Stories and Rikki Tikki Tavi
Boxcar Children
Nate the Great
Cam Jansen
C D B
Amelia Bedelia
The Night Before Christmas 
Encyclopedia Brown
Green Knowe
Nancy Drew
Danny Dunn
Beverly Cleary
From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler
The Westing Game
The Wolves of Willoughby Chase
The Island of the Blue Dolphins
The Secret Garden
The Little Prince
The Keeper of the Isis Light
Trixie Belden

Some of these one would like, but wouldn’t appeal to the other.  I was really disappointed I couldn’t interest either in Little Women. My grandmother had given me the Little House books as a girl. I found them dull as dust, but have fond memories of her reading them to me. Since a relative gave my kids a set, we tried reading them, and although they liked them better than I had, they still didn’t want to finish the series. [/quote]
